Spreading the word about Silverlight to BANDT I spoke to Noelle Waugh from B & T today. It was the first time I had spoken to anyone from B & T. The topic of the day was Silverlight . (I guess Noelle doesn’t read  blogs and hasn’t seen the countless posts about this - Josh Gliddon sees some Silverlight, wow - everyone wants to talk to me again, Introducing Microsoft Silverlight, Out with WPFE in with Microsoft Silverlight. This has just been announced!, Silverlight - The next generation web experiences ”). Noelle was coming from the angle of what Silverlight means for advertisers, interactive agencies, online content and digital advertising. It was such a perfect change to tell her all about ReMix (still places available - register now ) Some of the questions included: Can you talk me through how Silverlight could revolutionise online content and how it helps advertisers to extend what they do? Can you go into detail on how it differs from Flash in terms of delivering a rich experience? So developers can apply their existing skills? Is this the first time Microsoft has moved into this space? What are your views on the impact this will have on advertisers? So are you looking to expand the services available through Silverlight now? What do you expect the uptake and interest to be locally? Would you agree that Silverlight is a more advanced rich experience compared to Flash? How would you describe Silverlight? These were good questions and I think I did an OK job at answering them all. I also got to mention PopFly , since it’s now ‘out there’. All About Microsoft : ” Microsoft Popfly: Yahoo Pipes for the rest of us ” eWeek : ” Microsoft Tool Lets the Masses Create Apps, Web Pages ” Chris Pirillo : ” Popfly: Microsoft Gets an A++ ” CNET : ” Mashups without the code ” All in all, it was a nice little chat and I look forward to seeing the story come out.
